MIME media type name: application
MIME subtype name: vnd.kde.kspread
Required parameters: none
Optional parameters: none
Encoding considerations: Binary or base64 required
Security considerations:
As of this writing, KSpread documents do not contain any active
content. As such, it is believed that usage of this mimetype
does not introduce security concerns other than those already
inherent in ZIP archives, XML files and supported image files.
It is expected that later versions of KSpread feature scripting
and macro recording facilities. It is, however, not intended
to include active content into the KSpread document itself.
KSpread documents include document metadata such as the name of
the author, etc. However, none of this data is written
automatically. The KSpread user has full control over what
metadata is to be included and must actively request the
inclusion. As such, the use of this mimetype does not lead to
hidden leaking of possibly sensitive data.
Interoperability considerations:
Earlier versions of KOffice (<= 1.1) used gzip-compressed UNIX
tar files as archive format. It is expected that this obsolete
format will die out soon after the first release of KOffice
1.2. Thus, this registration does not apply to the obsolete
format. Implementations are expected to use the old
application/x-kspread mime type for the obsolete format.
Published specification:
A KSpread document consists of a series of XML streams and
externally generated content which are bundled together as a
ZIP archive.
Any content placed in KSpread can either be completely embedded
in the KSpread document or can be linked to using URIs.
The DTDs used in KOffice can be obtained from
http://www.koffice.org/DTD/.
A description of the storage format is contained in the source
code distribution (lib/store/SPEC). The current version can be
obtained online via KDE's WebCVS interface:
http://webcvs.kde.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/koffice/lib/store/SPEC
Applications which use this media type:
All applications in the KDE KOffice Office Suite, esp. KSpread.
